Annastasia Wanjiru

Annastasia A. Wanjiru serves as a Regional Acquisition & Assistance Specialist for USAID/Kenya, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that advance sustainable development across East Africa. She manages a diverse portfolio of professional services contracts aligned with USAID’s strategic priorities in private sector growth, public health, democratic governance, and climate resilience. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from needs assessment and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and contract award—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and USAID’s development effectiveness standards. She routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring technical expertise and adaptive implementation approaches. Annastasia maintains a strong working relationship with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, a primary contractor providing specialized technical and operational support across multiple sectors. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity service providers capable of delivering scalable, evidence-based solutions in complex operational environments. While she collaborates with a range of vendors, her partnerships are characterized by a focus on proven performance, technical rigor, and alignment with USAID’s development outcomes. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical capability and mission alignment over preference programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures fair and transparent competition consistent with federal acquisition policy. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing policy analysis, monitoring and evaluation, and technical advisory services. She also frequently procures residential remodeling services under NAICS 236118 and general support services under NAICS 561990, demonstrating a unique blend of development infrastructure and institutional capacity-building needs. Her domain expertise spans public health systems strengthening, electoral support, and climate-resilient infrastructure design.
